I see kids buying them, its pretty much the same as with the Toy Biz Spider-Man line. Everyone fights for the villians and the kids tend to buy the rest. The 3 i have bought from the line are Rhino, Green Goblin, and Hobgoblin.

I got a Doc Ock from this line the other day, he's not bad, though I'm not sure which specific comic appearance he's based on if any though. He's got some weird articulation though. Below the waist is pretty much Star Wars level, but the arms are ball socket shoulders and swivel biceps of all things. No albows or wrists. Just an odd, fairly useless articulation point. I've also gotten Venom, Rhino and Gobby from this line. They lack articulation, but I think the sculpting is pretty solid, fortunately a lack of articulation doesn't bother me too much since I usually just stick these things in a static pose on the shelf anyway.

That's the Doc Ock I have on display with my 3 3/4" stuff as well. I always thought that was one of the better figures of the Showdown line, at least the ones that I saw or picked up. I think he fits in pretty well with the current stuff too.

Found another Rhino today at a grocery store of all places, and they only wanted $6, so into the basket he went.

Also based on the SDCC pics, not much is happening in this line in the near future other than Carnage and a new Venom.

Yeah, I was a little disappointed in the lack of news for the Spidey line as well. Honestly, it just seems to be a lot of various Spideys with an odd villain thrown in here and there. Of course, I guess that is pretty much how the line has always been run. I do check the pegs here every so often, and I can't say they are flying off the shelves.
